What's up, RMers?

[Remi-chan]

Update! All but five of the optional events are done. I've been steadily knocking out one per day. Now, we are scheduled to finish all the optional events by the 10th!

Then on the 11th I will do the Ashe boss fight. Then on the twelfth, I will stream as I fix up all of the remaining mistakes DerVVulfman spotted. I will then do a full play through of the game to ensure there's no soft-locks or game-breakers, and package it up ready for release.

Then! Over the next two days, I will make a trailer and the 3/14 video.

Yes. We will make it. Fantasia Demo 3 WILL be ready for 3/14! The day of the CCC's 10th anniversary!

So, you might wonder... where are the rest of the boss fights?

Well, that's easy: They're all down below! You are welcome!

Spiralling Fan of Blades

This fight is a Surreal Difficulty fight and feels like one. Between Anathema finishing off low health party members and healing from their demise, the absolute shit-storm of projectiles and the time warping mechanics that also disable skedaddle. Is it any wonder the sixth of the grand Archdemons smiles so confidently!?

The Final Death Match

A continuation of the fight with Rex Flexin, using those same mechanics, only being somewhat actually challenging. It's still fun to watch Lumi fire a laser blaster, it only happens in two battles though, so... Enjoy it while it lasts!

Shadowflame Sisters

Really earning it's hard difficulty. Like how the non-blood related sisters are themed on fire and shadow, their attacks are a combination of purple and orange. Purple = MOVE IDIOT while orange = DEFEND IDIOT. There's also some fatal RED attacks thrown in for good measure.

Foxfire Flurry

I personally find this fight fairly easy. But I'm leaning on the likelihood that me fighting Renae and Cathy way too many fucking times frankly, is probably giving me a wacky case of repetition bias. Lily adds some new mechanics to the fight, including yet another game over mechanic if you do something to make her feel lonely. This bitch is actually scary, please try not to piss her off!

Crimson Demonium

Never have I watched a fight I've made and thought in purest terms: Holy fuck, this is just touhou now. What have I done? This fight is honestly a tad too hard and feels like a slightly easier Anathema. Really putting the "High Acceleration Reaction Demand" in HARD am I right?

The Court Magician

And before you ask; Yes, I did finish this one just an hour ago! And if you saw the thumbnail and imagined flurries of purple and blue attacks, then... YOU ARE CORRECT! She also turns you into a slow sheep, conjures a crystal that stops you damaging her health until it is destroyed, and like Remira has a sick mid-fight transition. Oh, and after said transition, she throws in MORE purple and blue mechanics just because you obviously didn't have enough to worry about already!

So as this probably reveals I kind of broke the original order I had planned. I don't know what possessed me to have me think doing Akra Olna before the Shadowflame sisters was a good idea, or why I didn't do Postmartia in one lot. But that's all going to be corrected.

Because yes; I DO have a new road map to show you.

So this one is a lot more straight forward just due to the small amount of entries left. Akra Olna is my next target, which will entirely finish off the Amethyst system. All I have left then is the Turquoise System, where the last of the Hard difficulty fights resides with Kikiyo, whose event picture is a display of Cid and Kyu for some reason.

It is then on that same planet that I will do the Surreal Difficulty obstacle course.

After that, we're off to Planet Haven to have a good old ass kicking with Svoli in her apotropaic form. Then finally, the dreaded Xaramitsi awaits us on the shadow-blackened moon of Zirkov. The first and only insane difficulty boss fight in this version of the game.

So yeah, we're on the tail end of this thing!
